Letterman doesn't want his cool James Earl Jones Top 10 on YT, I nearly lost my lunch when he said Boutros Boutros Ghali. He was Chairman of the UN General Assembly, never part of the IOC.
You may be right. I remember thename from grade school, and my buddy and I thought it was great he had his first and middle name the same.
For some reason I always associated him with Olympics. Not sure why.
Back in the mid to late 1980's Bobby Orr had an annual charity event at Maple Leaf Gardens, where you got to skate around the rink with him as a group. My late, older cousin and I attended one year. I took a copy of a Macleans magazine from 1965 with Orr on the cover as an Oshawa General, that I had bought at a collectibles show. As we skated around the rink Orr was constantly surrounded, mostly by young kids. I waited for the right moment and approached him to ask if he would sign the magazine. When I showed him the magazine he had a look of surprise on his face, as though he hadn't seen it for a while. He looked at it for a bit and held it up for all the kids to see. As he graciously signed the magazine, my cousin asked him if he would pose with me for a photo(old fashion camera, no cellphones back then). He kindly agreed, and as I stood next to him for the photo he put his arm around me like we were buddies for years(he didn't know me from Adam). Class act.
P.S. My cousin connected with a young women there for one of his extra marital affairs. In a way, we both scored that day.

Was it the Mississauga Tavern, later called Diamonds? Not sure if its still around....
Back in the late 90s or early 2000s (don't remember exactly when), a buddy of mine worked in the promotions department at Q107. He tells me to meet him at the Whisky A-Go-Go that night, and I was a fan of the ballet back then...I'm waiting at the door, and this limo pulls up. My buddy jumps out, and says, "check this out!" Out of the limo stumbles Angus & Malcom Young and Brian Johnson from AC/DC. Spent a few hours with those dude, shooting the shit and getting comp drinks. I honestly don't remember a hell of a lot, but a bunch of the peelers were taking those dudes into the back for dances....Thankfully, I could cab it back to my place near York...I sure as fuck couldn't drive after that....
Good times...
